According to Gartner, Inc., “a ‘Leader’ exhibits the ability to shape the market by introducing additional capabilities in its product offerings, and by raising awareness of the importance of these features. Key capabilities for a Leader revolve around the ADC capabilities that focus on enterprise application capabilities. We expect a Leader to have strong or growing market share, and to have solutions that resonate with an increasing number of enterprises. Expertise in complex data center application deployment is also necessary to be a Leader in the Magic Quadrant.”

NetScaler ADC solutions feature the innovative TriScale™ technology, which brings the elasticity, simplicity and expandability of the cloud to both enterprise and carrier networks. This technology enables organizations of all sizes to efficiently scale their datacenter networks up, in and out to deliver apps, desktops and data to any user, on any device, over any network.

NetScaler is well established as the industry’s leading internet delivery system, touching an estimated 75 percent of internet users each day.

This combination helps customers deliver public and private cloud services with the best performance, security and reliability to any device.

“We are facing a new era in networking in which the network takes center stage as enterprises and service providers consolidate due to the unstoppable forces of mobility and cloud. Building on our leadership in powering the world’s largest internet and cloud providers, and partnerships with industry leaders in software-defined networking, NetScaler continues to be the most advanced cloud networking platform available today. We are honored that for the seventh consecutive year, our efforts have been recognized by Gartner which we feel is evidenced by our placement in the Leaders Quadrant of the 2013 Gartner Magic Quadrant for ADCs.”
